which your J for the good of our country may suggest the about to be established or which have established In Europe should have as a com- point of view the kind of monarchy appropriate to for which end in my opinion the instructions are In this sense to the 1 tor or negotiators will be of little avail if they do that personal knowledge of the true Inter- Mexico added to the zeal and constancy with they may maintain the necessity that these without withholding their countenance leave us the liberty of determining the kind of political and the person to whom we Intrust the royal dignity Upon this latter point deserving as It does at this the consideration as noon that depend the skillful and conscientious direction of interests or the disastrous perversion and mischievous results which may ensue from an error In this particular I beg you will permit BM by way of Illustrating the point to Indulge in a few observation which are suggested lo me by my ef events and by long yms of unwearied diligence to this diligence dictated atone lime by my voluntary de- to be lo my country and at others aa In KM In consequence of being In Mcd with a legal hough secret mission by our

essential condition of IU existence as that It Is essentially a In language In IM legislation and Ils tradition 50 the chief selected to rule ll If nol Spanish In have no other trait Inconsistent with the Mexican requirement the character and the antecedents of UM and the just discussed the writer see many reasons why a Prince of Hie actual Spanish dynasty would seem to meet every condition of the case Two reasons however are enough to overmaster The one Is thai of which animates even above the level of the mob to accepting Spanish Prince sovereign an only upon any other ground than the dread of in mch a chief an instrument of a freih sub- j of the country to the direct domination of Its j and as Is this apprehension it te me worth while to show how easy it would be to any man of ordinary sense of tbe contrary f making them comprehend that no nation which in face of mankind has recognized the Independence ancient could desire to reestablish Iri Han a moribund dominion and that no who i the face of mankind should accept for himself and an Independent sovereignty would or Id convert himself into a Instrument of ambition even supposing It to exist thus forfeit ibis personal dignity and

regard the scribed branch of It as suited to Hie occasion There arc then three of thet family The having decided to maintain hli claim to the throne of France would not accept that of Mexico If even 11 were offered lo 1846 loa ler of the King of Naples but without Issue he would naturally desire thai his brother Don Jour married to an Archduchess of Austria and two sons should secure succession to the throne of Spain the session of which he Is disputing There the third brother Don stilt a bachelor of 36 years of age whose qualities as those who know him well assure me are eminently commendable The very nature of the origin of the of this family Is already an antecedent which enjoys tlie principal recommendation for the throne of namely firm adhesion monarchical principles The brilliant education of these princes their piety and the experience derived at so much cost from the misfortunes which have followed them from their birth are guarantees of In a government to which tn or out of their country they might be called Nor am I without reason for believing that these hating acquired a full knowledge of the of age would be prepared to accept In the political regulation of their those tions leaving the monarchical principle Intact would guarantee the enlightened protection and the greatest development of material Interests modern civilization The circumstance of Don being a elor wo ild be moil fortunate for Mexico since once reigning It would be moit easy for him to form a alliance with one of reigning houses finding In union considerable power for consolidation of the Mexican destiny writer then goes on to f Ely that If the Powers should object to the candidature of Don an Archduke of would admirably supply monarchical necessity of Mexico aa the coolness

of the failure of the Office Appropriation 1 should be learn w hat course of administration Is proposed by the De- for the relief of Its creditors and especially if any provision is for extinguishing

March 22 1859 In answer lo Inquiries contained in your note just received I beg to submit the following stale me Congress for the first time since the organization of Government has expired without having made appropriations for service of the De- during next fiscal year which will com- mence on the 1st of July Had the members of the next Congress been elected from all the States the President might on the 4th of March have called an extra session and this omission of the late Con- gress might have been thus This was however Impossible without disfranchising the people of nearly half ol tho States of the Union which had nol elected members At that date there wore fifteen States without Representatives since elected Island and cut will elect in the beginning April Oregon In the of June Virginia on tho fourth day of May Kentucky Alabama North Carolina and Texas In the beginning of August California early In September Georgia Mississippi and In the beginning of October and Louisiana and not until tne first Monday and day In November This is most unfortunate There ought to be no Interval when a full Congress could not be convened and It is to be hoped that never will be one hereafter Had the Appropriation which failed made vision only for the fiscal year commencing on the 1st of July next there would obviously have been no necessity for aa extra session Tho quarterly vice of contractors for lhat year will not have been formed so as to entitle them to pay until Oct I and by the terras of their for railroad routes only days more must elapse before their accounts can be finally settled which would postpone the day of payment till the lit of December within less than a week from Hie lar meeting of Congress If It should bo ad- Congress might be convened for the middle of November in ample lime to provide for the ment of what will be due contractors for the first service of the next year before It will be In fact payable This statement It manifest therefore that had the appropriations proposed in the which failed been Intended to meet the of the next year there would have hern no sufficient reason for Congress together be- fore the regular period of Its assembling Such however Is nit the case That also vided that the sum of be and the same la hereby appropriated out of any money In the sury not otherwise appropriated to supply cies in the revenues of the Department for the ending the June 1859 Upon a careful examination and Investigation It ascertained that the will amount lo aboul the sum of 05 It ought however to be observed that after the of June next the sum of ed lo department by the acl of March 3 1849 and March 3 for the transportation and delivery of fiee mall mutter for Congress and the Executive De- may be applied In part to tho ment of this deficiency This will leave the balance lo be provided for Of sum of 99 the deficiency which existed In the quarter ending on the December to 68 That for thf quarter ending March to That fur quarter ending June to 01 Total 95 The the unpaid balance of liabilities closing December and payable and will be paid by the ment within slily days from this dale the pav merit of the principal part of It will be made within thirty The effect of this will be lo divide ilie entire deficit of 95 between ending March and June and payable May and August so thai the suspension of payment on no part of ihli Indebtedness will exceed beyond a few ill months before regular meeting of Con- gress on nearly one-half of It tho suspension will bo but for a few daye more than three months II Is a grievous misfortune lo the contractors lhat the Department has been left the means of discharging this debt at maturity Under existing circumstances however It would be Impossible to convene Congren In time lo meet these ties without virtually excluding from lhat body the Representatives of of the sovereign Stales of this confederated Government This would bo a tuit of serious complaint The choice of the President hag been undoubtedly a choice between great evils but in his judgment the leaser would he to wait until the first Monday of December when Congreai will be fulL The debts due and to become due to the tors are of a character The contracts out of beep entered Into undei express of laws of To appropriate money fnr payment Is as Irry and binding upon Congress as It Is lo provide fur the and interest of the national There ever can repudiation of this of the American people After the amount due to each contractor shall have been and finally according lo law this amount becomes a specific debt of record against the United States Us payment Is In- evitable and If the contractor desires to bor row money upon it the lender could have no beller security Betides as Congress aro In de- not appropriation to meet thli debl It would be no more than justice for them lo provide tor the payment of Interest on these accounts from the time of their final bv the
